Salchipapa – Peruvian Hot Dog & Fries Street Food

Salchi is a word for sausages and papa means potato in Spanish. Put them together and you get a word that is synonymous with fast food (but not in a bad way). The Salchipapa is one of the most popular savoury snacks on the streets of every town in Peru. Every Peruvian kitchen has seen its share of this simple, meat and fries snack. Salty, fatty, starchy, and packed with flavor, salchipapas is the ultimate food-on-the-go but it also works as a satisfying meal to share among friends.
